&lt;p&gt;Maybe this will be a good thing and even more people will be able to join us for this second discussion.&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="http://evpl.org/community/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile" /&gt;&amp;nbsp; For those, like me, already finished with the book and eagerly&amp;nbsp;waiting for the discussion, I have a small sop to your patience.&amp;nbsp; If you haven&amp;#39;t already read it, Naomi Novik has a lovely little &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.temeraire.org/feast-or-famine/"&gt;Teneraire story&lt;/a&gt; available on her &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.temeraire.org/"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; The action of the short story, &amp;quot;Feast or Famine,&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;is even referenced in &lt;em&gt;Throne of Jade&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Having already read &amp;quot;Feast or Famine&amp;quot; I got a real kick out of recognizing&amp;nbsp;the references to it in &lt;em&gt;Throne of Jade&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope I&amp;#39;ll see you here on March 13th!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://evpl.org/community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2440" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://evpl.org/community/blogs/research/archive/tags/naomi+novik/default.aspx">naomi novik</category><category domain="http://evpl.org/community/blogs/research/archive/tags/temeraire/default.aspx">temeraire</category><category domain="http://evpl.org/community/blogs/research/archive/tags/book+discussions/default.aspx">book discussions</category><category domain="http://evpl.org/community/blogs/research/archive/tags/Throne+of+Jade/default.aspx">Throne of Jade</category></item><item><title>Serendipity at its finest...</title><link>http://evpl.org/community/blogs/research/archive/2013/01/14/serendipity-at-its-finest.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:38:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">9a7b961d-7882-4302-b701-732ca0e566f2:2433</guid><dc:creator>SuDocQueen@evpl</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><wfw:commentRss xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">http://evpl.org/community/blogs/research/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=2433</wfw:commentRss><comments>http://evpl.org/community/blogs/research/archive/2013/01/14/serendipity-at-its-finest.aspx#comments</comments><description>&lt;p&gt;A good friend just told me January 16th is &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.squidoo.com/appreciate-a-dragon-day"&gt;Appreciate a Dragon Day&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and my first &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.evpl.org/events/search/event.aspx?id=32696"&gt;book talk&lt;/a&gt; for Naomi Novik&amp;#39;s&amp;nbsp;alternative history/dragon series is... January 16th.&amp;nbsp; I wish I could claim I cleverly planned it, but unfortunately not.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;ll just have to settle for great timing.&amp;nbsp; &lt;img src="http://evpl.org/community/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It looks like Appreciate a Dragon Day was started by author &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.donitakpaul.com/fun/aadd/index.html"&gt;Donita K. Paul&lt;/a&gt;, but if you google &amp;#39;dragon appreciation day,&amp;#39; you&amp;#39;ll discover other days throughout the year when you can pay homage to these wonderful mythical beasts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope I see you Wednesday evening.&amp;nbsp; I just finished rereading &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://evans.evpl.org/search~S0?/this+majesty%27s+dragon/this+majestys+dragon/1%2C2%2C3%2CB/exact&amp;amp;FF=this+majestys+dragon&amp;amp;1%2C2%2C"&gt;His Majesty&amp;#39;s Dragon&lt;/a&gt; and I loved it as much the second time around as I did the first time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://evpl.org/community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2433" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://evpl.org/community/blogs/research/archive/tags/naomi+novik/default.aspx">naomi novik</category><category domain="http://evpl.org/community/blogs/research/archive/tags/dragons/default.aspx">dragons</category><category domain="http://evpl.org/community/blogs/research/archive/tags/temeraire/default.aspx">temeraire</category><category domain="http://evpl.org/community/blogs/research/archive/tags/Donita+K.+Paul/default.aspx">Donita K.
